• Place your hp USB drive key in an available USB port.
• Select the ‘HP Drive Key Boot Utility’ shortcut in the ‘HP System Tools’ folder.
• Complete each step presented by the application.

During the interview process, when asked to select the drive letter your key is using, if the drop down box is unpopulated please note that the drive key is either not properly connected to the system or is of drive type “fixed disk”. To determine the type of a USB mass storage device, enter “My Computer” and right-click on the USB drive key and choose “Properties.” The drive type will be displayed in the Properties pane. If the drive is labeled “fixed disk” or “local disk” the following steps must be followed to assign a drive letter to the USB drive key prior to running the HP Drive Key boot Utility.

• Insert the Drive Key.
• Login as Administrator.
• Select Start-> Programs-> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management.
• Select Computer Management (local) -> Storage -> Disk Management (local).
• Select “Change/Add Drive Letter” for the disk to map the Drive Key to.
• Choose a drive letter.
